A sign of a good book? Reading it straight through in an evening, pausing only to grab a drink or food. Well, that's what I did with this one because I literally couldn't put it down!
The Henderson's Boys series is pretty much a prequel to the CHERUB series. CHERUB is an organisation that was s... See full review

A brilliant plot with great characters and excellent writing. Why can't all books be like this? From the first time I heard about The Iron King I was really looking forward to reading it.

This is definitely one of the best comic books I've read recently, if not ever.
It's funny, quirky - without going overboard - and imaginative. The art work is simple but brilliant. It's not very often I really love the characters in comics but Scott and his friends are actually awesome! Scott th... See full review

Being part way through Percy Jackson and the Olympians series (by the same author) I was really looking forward to reading The Red Pyramid.

Basically a retelling of Cinderella, I really liked the sound of Ash before I started reading but I found it a little bit ... blah to be honest. It's not a bad book, the writing is good, if a little descriptive for my liking and Ash, the main character is likeable enough. I just found it hard to ge... See full review

Although I liked the sound of Chasing Brooklyn from the first time I heard about it, I wasn't convinced that I was actually going to enjoy reading it once I knew it was written in verse. Usually I don't like that kind of thing (just personal preference) but I was willing to at least give it a shot. ... See full review

Hush Hush was an enjoyable read. I've not read many books with angels in so for me it was a nice change. I particularly liked the fallen angel aspect which gave the story some edge to it.
I found there were a few similarites to Twilight, particularly towards the start of the book. As a non-Twilig... See full review

Well, there's probably not a lot I can say about The Iron Daughter that either I didn't say about the first one or won't include spoilers.
